Welcome![edit]

Hello, Nmedits, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was David Oyelowo, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to David Oyelowo. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at David Oyelowo, you may be blocked from editing. Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 19:48, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Images, copyright, and Wikipedia[edit]

Greetings! I see you're trying to change the image on the David Oyelowo article. The problem is, the image used in the infobox must be a free image and available for unlimited reuse, including commercial reuse. There is no evidence that the image you're trying to change to is owned by Speakerpedia and was released by Speakerpedia under a free license.

If, as you claim, you're working with/for Oyelowo, then the easiest solution is for a page to be put up at his official website with the image in question and a statement that such image is owned by Oyelowo and released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. —C.Fred (talk) 20:51, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
